You should tell the whole joke, not just the punch-line (last line of the
joke). Your problem description is missing ALL the key details, it is of
no use at all.
- Post the unedited server responses from the moment you connected
(show the 220 banner) until you got the server's list of SASL mechanisms.
- Post the server logs related to the transaction.
- Do not post your attempt to manually login with SASL, especially with
non-plaintext mechanisms (GSSAPI, CRAM-MD5, ...) you simply won't be
able to mimic the protocol by hand.
I am not at all suprised that you could not SASL authenticate via telnet.
